What's this thread about?
Just post any experiences you've had in an arcade. It doesn't have to be a "ARCADE" arcade, just something like Dave & Busters or an ordinary place with arcade machines will do.
Today, I watched LEGO Movie. Why is this relevant you say? The place I go to, the Ronnies 20 Cine (werenberg's), has a pretty rad arcade. When I went there to play DDR, I noticed something. It errored out. I can't remember the error code (121?), but it was a cassette error. I don't know what that is, but I guess it's the security cassette? The game cassette? Eh.
Anyways, walked up to the counter, asked the girl at the counter if I could unplug it and plug it in, and I did. This was the actual first time I watched a arcade machine boot that wasn't PACMAN, so it was pretty cool. Went through some boot checks, loaded the game, and it was confusing how to see the loading percent maxed at 250. Doesn't it usually end at 100?
Anyways, after I got it fixed, told my Dad. However, after he finished talking to a person he used to work with at the theater (who still works there), WE HAD TO LEAVE.
Really got my hopes up, then crushed. Was really going to try and practice, but I couldn't. Eh, maybe I'll try again after Friday ends. Or just go to Tee Time or Swing-A-Round Fun Town.
Also the DDR was Dance Dance Revolution Extreme.
Anyways, post some experiences you've had with arcade machines/arcades.
